Improved Tracking Checks
Use preview and debugging tools to inspect whether tags fire under the intended conditions.
Support for Measurement Goals
Organise tags around the events and interactions your business needs to measure.

Google Tag Manager Setup FAQs
Find answers to common questions about Google Tag Manager, implementation and setup requirements.
What is Google Tag Manager?
Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that helps you configure and manage supported tracking tags on a website or app through a central interface, rather than manually editing website code for every tag update.
Why does my website need Google Tag Manager?
Google Tag Manager can make it easier to organise tracking tags, define when they should run and test changes. Whether it is suitable for your website depends on your measurement requirements and current setup.
Is Google Tag Manager the same as Google Analytics 4?
No. Google Tag Manager helps manage and deploy tags, while Google Analytics 4 collects and reports website or app measurement data. They can work together, but they serve different purposes and may need separate configuration.
Can Google Tag Manager be installed on a WordPress website?
Yes. Google Tag Manager can be implemented on WordPress websites using a suitable installation method. The right approach depends on the site's theme, plugins, existing tracking code and access permissions.
Will Google Tag Manager automatically track every website interaction?
No. Some built-in measurements may be available depending on the tags and configuration, but many interactions require specific tags, triggers, variables or event configuration. Tracking should be tested against the required measurement plan.
How do you test Google Tag Manager before publishing?
Google Tag Manager's preview and debugging tools can help inspect which tags fire, which do not and what conditions apply. Additional checks may be needed to confirm that data reaches the intended measurement platform.
Does Google Tag Manager setup include conversion tracking?
Google Tag Manager can support conversion tracking, but the exact implementation depends on your requirements and the platforms involved. Conversion tracking is included only when it forms part of the agreed project scope.
How much does Google Tag Manager setup cost?
Pricing depends on your website, existing configuration, number of tags and triggers, measurement requirements and testing needs. Contact iFix Digital to discuss your requirements and request a suitable quotation.
